About me
As someone whose earliest memories are painting in my backyard wearing diapers, I cannot recall a moment in my life when I was not creating something. My artwork has taken on many forms; from making a six-foot-tall fork and spoon that acted as a meatball ramp to a bowl of spaghetti to creating the office of the Devil’s receptionist for a short film. My projects have provided me technical skills in woodworking, metalworking, painting, textiles, rigging, sewing, mold-making, laser cutting, photography, and everything else crafty. I am fluent in programs such as InDesign, SketchUp, Photoshop, and Premiere. With low budgets and very little time in college, I learned how to accomplish my work with efficiency and a MacGyver spirit.In addition to these passion projects, I have spent the past six months working under Mary Howard Studio Artists where I have served many roles on set such as lead carpenter, lead props assistant and set dresser. I am often tasked with sourcing for designers, maintaining expense reports, keeping track of deliveries, being the liaison between truckers and vendors, and overseeing returns. Some of my recent work includes a Mariah Carey mini-documentary, a COACH campaign, Karlie Kloss's holiday event, and the Lous and the Yakuza "Tout est gore" music video. I am very familiar with New York City prop houses and I have gained many contacts working in the industry. I am interested in applying my skills to pursue more creative work in the field of set and production design.
